General Solution: SDL has developed the Pizza Box analog signal conditioning platform. The Pizza Box utilizes a standard J1 VME Backplane, providing the platform with a flat and compact form factor resembling that of a pizza box. This signal conditioning hardware provides eight channels of current command amplifiers with programmable filter cutoff frequencies and amplifier gains. It also provides up to fifteen channels of voltage signal conditioning with programmable amplification and filtering. Analog filtering may utilize adjustable on-board filters or replaceable high-precision analog filter modules. All of the Pizza Box filters and amplifiers are instrumentation grade, providing precise gains and filtering while minimizing signal noise. Channel inputs and outputs use standard BNC connectors for easy integration into a variety of settings. The Pizza Box is a portable, standalone unit that may be used with a variety of DSP or acquisition systems. SDL and its partners have utilized this hardware for numerous applications including system prototyping, system modeling and as a general purpose amplifier and/or filter.

Tailored Solution: SDL has developed the dTASC analog signal conditioning platform. The dTASC is a specialized version of the Pizza Box hardware developed to integrate into an existing ISA DSP system modeling platform. The dTASC provides two current command amplifiers with programmable filter cutoff frequencies and amplifier gains. On board current measurement of the two current amplifier channels with appropriate buffering is also provided. The dTASC also provides two channels of voltage signal conditioning with programmable gains and a replaceable high-precision analog filter modules. Adding to the functionality of the Pizza Box, the dTASC provides a dual RTD temperature measurement circuit. |
